Coupfourpointfive has been told that Fiji's Ministry of Foreign Affairs seems to be in disarray because he was asked to come in and start work, put on his contractual salary, but now that he has been rejected they don't know what to do with him.

And neither can they send him back home for fear of the illegal leader, Frank Bainimarama, going into a tailspin.

The joke among civil servants is that the orders to engage brother Meli immediately were issued by former army goon Sila Balawa, now Deputy Permanent Secretary while the more substantive Permanent Secretary, Solo Mara, was kept in the dark.

Now that Balawa's attempt to masi polo has back-fired, the question up and down Victoria Parade and Albert Park is, who will get fired?

Many have meanwhile asked, so what does he do all day?The regime's solution is to keep everyone on salary, after all what is another Bainimarama feeding off the taxpayers?

Readers will recall that only recently the Bainimarama clan, including all four of the children, went on the controversial taxpayer funded trip to Singapore. Included in the excursion was Frances and Ateca, who are in the United Kingdom married to British Army boys.

Insiders say the world cup netball entourage was made up of Frank and Mary Bainimarama, Rubyann, Litiana, Meli, Frances, Ateca and Bernie, and Litiana's husband Eremasi and that trip cost more than $40,000.

We wonder how much it is the costing the Fiji taxpayer to have Uncle Meli cool his heels while the regime tries to sort this mess out?

Gee - shits flying in from all directions at the moment - keep a sharp ear out for any "gov talk" of purchasing AP?Gov run airlines don't work - unless of course your a middle east sheik with your own inground fuel tank. Given whats happened in FSC - imagine what AP would look like in 6 months?

fiji does not belong to the Bainimara clan or the military. the decent thing the self appointed P.M should do is to bring back his brother or else his family name will be ridiculed further more. that is if he does know the meaning of being decent and if he truly has Fiji's interest at heart. it seems that power has corrupted the Bainimarama clan. maybe this was how they were brought up by their elders. SHAME ON YOU.

Here we are on suspension from the Commonwealth Secretariat; and how in heaven's name did Mels think he would be accepted by the principal member country of ComSec as a diplomatic rep to Her Majesty's government? This is a joke big time!

I believe his wife has also left her position with the CWM Hospital in preparation for London. [Or who did Ned Taito replace?]

By Golly Miss Molly, aren't Mr & Mrs over 55? How come they still on the government payroll? Some people have no shame, why can't they just retire quietly in the village, greedy people. Or do they think that small bro and the rest of Fiji owe them a favour by keeping them employed.De matanitu nei Ta? Sa qai rawa la i nakoro, did they ever think they could get to the Court of St James that easy? Oooooppps! The Baini kids in UK must have been looking fwd that Uncle was coming! Dream onssss... There are certain privileges you will still need to sweat for in this life, thank goodness!!!

What is wrong with everyone? What can u do about the issue? Yes, Mrs Bainimarama will just go backto her job at CWM Hospital, conscience or no conscience whatsoever.

Meli Bainimarama will become the President instead of Josaia Voreqe.

What can you do? Go and sit under the mango tree and drink yaqona or home brew.

U people in Fiji can just talk and gossip but can do nothing about your predicament; just a bunch of cowardly loud mouths who are more used to the crowd and gang mentality but unlike the Muslims of the Middle East countries, you are all afraid of the guns.taqayataki tiko na vekaca na nomuni tarausese.

From all accounts, all mills doing v well. No long queues. Just shows wen u keep unionist like Felix away, things can run well. Bloody self centred scumbags! Plus Abdul Khan a switched on guy from Canterbury.

So they will send the British High Commissioner back to London? Just heads up vb the Aussies and Kiwis lay low when u send them home, the Americans change their Ambassador, now send the Brits back to London just be careful they might come back and change the PM! lol!!!!!

What has happened to Fiji, the name prime minister, AG and minister before had respect at time of Ratu K Mara, even Bavadra, Rabuka and Garase, now their is no respect to these names, a gang of thugs and wannabis, just look at them, a woman basher is this who people of Fiji will call a prime minister.

Remove the PER and then see where the people power puts these gang of thugs junta and the circus with it, they deserve naboro prison for good.

@anon 1.29am. I assume you have spoken to Farmers, truck driver and FSC workers on the ground so u know. Better. I do and I assume all 3 are not telling me the truth. May b they military men fabricating the truth!LMAO!

Can the junta tin pot dictator and illegal AG publicaly declare thier annual salaries and benefits in excess of 700000 per year and who authorised these since they not elected by the people of fiji and forceline abuse the tax payer monies?

I need advice. I often have friends who work in the civil service that as indians, they do all the hard and the i~taukei get all the benefits and promotion. I have never worked in the civil so I need to know if assertion is correction or just typical kai india lazy comment blamimg the indengious?

Ha ha ha! Since when was Baininimara's family educated and equipped to run Foreign Missions? Maybe the only place they are qualified to run a Fiji High Commission is in Zimbabwe! I hope every country rejects every Fijian Bainimarama puts forth as Ambassador to their country. His brother looks exactly like him too - you can see the in breeding. The light is on...but no one is at home!!

Requiring 18 ton of cane to make 1 ton of sugar, the industry is doing so well. People should check there facts before commenting. In the past it took only 8 ton of cane to do the same job. How can we say the industry is doing well.

FICAC should really be closed down. It is an embarrassment. We thought it was to fight corruption and now anyone complaining about anybody whether true or false or otherwise gets hauled in and questioned for hours by corrupt officers.

As for Erica Lee, she just tells lies after lies and does not bat an eye lid. Is this what we want for our beloved Fiji?

Who do you think you're trying to fool by sending your useless half dead bro Meli Bainimarama to London??? To be closer to his daughter wanna be princess (marama/adi) Lice in Aldershot n the idiots daughters Frances n Ateca...what a bunch of opportunist you are! Also, to campaign for our soldiers in the BA as what those new FHC staff in London are doing already...trying to vesu mona our fijian boys. Our fijian boys will always have their Fiji suffering family at heart. Go find your army in India dou yavu kawa ca, kanakana i lavo, butabutako i lavo...thieving Family thats what you are.

To Anonymous July 23 9.10 am. Actually the vulagi Fijians do not usually choose to serve as civil servants. Your friends would be junior in rank who are there simply to get experience and worm their way into more lucrative positions usually in the private sectors or NGOs with tons of benefits and available finance for all sorts of projects. The itaukei Fijians usually would be there long term and therefore are more likely to ascend the ladder of promotion with the right experience. But as for Meli Bainimarama - after a successful career in govt, what was he thinking? Various reports show he is in the 'good times' mode and he should just bow out gracefully now.

Nahi binaka this Meli, tum not qualify for High Commissioner re!! Tum family think amar Fiji Government new name Baini family Government. Are yaar!! Um bohut rere bakalevu. Arre too much no binaka your femly.

Meli, do you know the lyrics of our National Anthem (i mean in all languages). if not then don't go to UK buddy... will only bring shame to everyone hia at home.stay home and enjoy your TV program and at least accompany big boss to the bethouse.Masu, Lolo me rawa na qai, ke warai, sai nakoro ga.
